DELEGATES at the TUC’s annual congress backed calls today for new investment in public services after more than a decade of austerity. 

A composite motion from Unison, GMB, the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and the British Dietetic Association (BDA) was passed without opposition.

Unison demanded the creation of a “fair and equal society” after the Covid-19 pandemic via sustainable long-term funds for public services, while GMB focused on its “Fight for £15” campaign, which calls for pay justice for social care workers.
